Synthetic Turf for the Saginaw Bay Region
Bay City is a community of approximately 32,000 residents at the mouth of the Saginaw River where it meets Saginaw Bay on Lake Huron. The city's history as a lumber boom town left a legacy of Victorian architecture in the Center Avenue Historic District, while modern Bay City serves as a regional center for healthcare, education, and manufacturing. The annual Bay City Fireworks Festival draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to the riverfront.
Great Lakes Synthetic Turf serves Bay City and surrounding Mid-Michigan communities. Projects are planned around clay soils, water movement, freeze-thaw conditions, site access, intended use, and the hardscape or landscape edges the turf will meet.
Bay City's position at the confluence of the Saginaw River and Saginaw Bay creates persistently high water table conditions throughout the city. The native soils are heavy Saginaw Valley clay -- among the densest, most poorly draining soil in Michigan. This clay holds water at the surface for days after rain, creates standing pools in every low spot, and heaves dramatically during the 80-plus freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Natural lawns in Bay City fight a losing battle against soil that actively works against grass health.
